Amazon Park Concept Design <br />Overview <br />The Amazon Park Concept Design document provides direction for the management, <br />preservation, and enhancement of Amazon Park. Divided in to five sections, the <br />document includes an introduction; project background; public process description; <br />concept design summary; and priority improvement summary. Additionally, resource <br />information is included in the appendix such as concept drawings, workshop reports, <br />questionnaire results, workshop handouts and fact sheets. <br />Many themes arose throughout the development of this concept design, but none more <br />prevalently than the need to balance uses within the park. Amazon Park provides an <br />excellent site specific example of the many demands that we expect our public parks and <br />open spaces to fill. While we desire places to recreate, such as tennis courts, swimming <br />pools, soccer fields and playgrounds, we also want the quiet serenity of natural open <br />..space which also contributes to a healthy urban environment. Both experiences are <br />valuable, and both find a home in Amazon Park. It is the presence of both of these <br />experiences that makes Amazon Park a rich and vital focal point of the south Eugene <br />community. <br />Amazon Park Concept Design Page 1 February 15, 2005 <br />
